Check it out the paint believe it or not is black light reactive glows like neon it looks amazing under black light . Unfortunately I had a lot of finish issues with mine. Dents and glue all over the place and the foam is real soft and will dent easily. I can nit pick mine ti death but it is what it is still looks great in the air
Hey Lou Im Joe im like you love the eye candy on my planes/boats/trucks/cars etc Id love to see more from you like some flights on some of your models. Im new to your channel and gave you a like and sub and keep them coming bud and lm from PA maybe we can meetup this season and fly some birds at your field. Thanks for sharing👍👍👍👍👍
Just assembled it last night and packing it up to maiden now. Posting the assembly video next week and it shows a few of the flaws. Not too bad though.
The g1 was an awesome flying plane. I thought the same about the color. The website makes it look a lot brighter and almost metallic. In reality it's like flat army green. Also had some concerns about quality control. Iv gotten a couple planes with crooked rudders. Def not supposed to be like that. I had trouble with programming arua 8. Couldn't get crow mode to activate and it started doing weird stuff. I got zero response from customer support after 3 attempts at contacting them. But I got over it quick once I figured it out and flew it. Never got crow working until recently tho. I had to wrap the wheel pants with green vinyl. The white was terrible. And the canopy glass was kinda crappy. As well as the lenses for the lights were dingy as hell. I do wish the roll rate was a bit better. Mine seemed a little under powered with 6500mah ovonic batteries. It barely had enough power to hover. I'm gonna try better smaller batteries this season. I got an avian esc for reverse thrust and plan on making it 8s and doing some fpv flying. But I enjoy it. Definitely has a big presence. People love seeing it fly. Good luck enjoy!
Tip from having just built mine: be sure to check the spin direction of the motor before installing the prop. Mine was reversed. Easy fix: reverse any two motor connectors and check it again.
Also, the wire you say on the video is to connect the receiver to the Aura is actually for connecting your computer to the Aura and using its programming features. The receiver wire is separate and has to be ordered separately unless you ordered the 4651T from Flex. If you did, they throw in the cable at no charge.
worst quality of any foamy I ever assembled, they fly great and are engineered well, but thes fit and finish is atrocious. I had dents all over the bottom and top of the fuse, the paint was splotchy and looked like two different colors. barely enough paint to call it a paint job. If I got one with a dented canopy, I'd send it back, 700 bucks, you expect a certain level of quality. I ended up repainting most of the fuse. UNLESS CUSTOMERS COMPLAIGN NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE.
and what I found is that the paint stuck to the bags, and when I took the wings out of the bags, the paint kind of peeled off the wings on the corners smh
That build will be a piece of cake for you. Can't wait to see it complete.

Hi Joe, Sounds like a plan! and I definitely have a few hot videos in the oven that I will start uploading soon. Catch you later, thanks!

Aircraft International has nice looking painted pilots.

You need to get some of your other flights on here.
Yes I do! Working on it 👍🏼

Appreciate the tips. I did order the 4651 from Ama… That should be here Tuesday. I will start assembly in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the info!
Oh my goodness! Don't torture your servos by moving the servo arm by hand! It's a good way to strip the gears.
